In this article, Paul Graham comes up with a really funny description of Perl:
"When I talk about ugly source code, people will of course think of Perl. But the superficial ugliness of Perl is not the sort I mean. Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts. Perl may look like a cartoon character swearing..."

The article is about Python programmers: makes for interesting reading.
